Books in Bloom

with the Hopkinton Public Library

October 27 - 31

What a great combination - books and gorgeous flowers! We are delighted to again be joining with our library for their "Books in Bloom" event. Come see fun children's books interpreted by garden club members with cheery blooms. Opening reception is Friday October 26th from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Flowers for Vets

Each month, September through June, club members create floral arrangements to decorate the tables at the Senior Center for their Veteran's breakfast.

Our New Self-Watering Downtown Planters!!

This year, our club purchased self-watering planters for the downtown area. Each planter can hold up to 18 gallons of water which is then available to the plantings on a continuous basis. The water supply needs to be replenished on a regular basis ranging from about 1 week in extremely hot summer weather to 2 weeks during early spring and fall. Previously, our members had to water planters every day or so in extremely hot weather. Getting the 4 - 6 gallons of water to each planter was not an easy task! The new planters are easier to maintain and provide the water needed to keep the plants looking their best.

Join Us!

Do you like flowers? Landscapes? Meeting new friends? How about contributing to your town? The Hopkinton Garden Club offers all this and more! Club members offer a variety of gardening interests and experience. Some like to get their hands dirty, others prefer floral arranging or garden design. Whatever the preference, we are always learning! Everyone donates time and energy to plant and maintain Hopkinton's public spaces several times a year.

Thank you to our "Help Hopkinton Bloom" Sponsors!

We want to express our appreciation to the local businesses who generously donated to our "Help Hopkinton Bloom" site sponsorship drive. Their help has enabled us to purchase new, self-watering planters for Main St. this year, and plants for all our beautification efforts!!

Please join us in supporting our sponsors and recognizing their contribution to our community.

Opportunities are still available to sponsor one of our club's planters or sites. We would welcome your participation in our program! If you are interested, please email us at info@hopkintongardenclub.org.
